The video of a couple getting married in the middle of a Black Lives Matter protest has become a viral symbol of hope across social media.

After postponing their late May wedding due to COVID-19, bride Kerry Anne and groom Michael Gordon decided to go ahead with their intimate ceremony at a Philadelphia hotel on June 7, knowing that the protests were scheduled for their wedding date.

As the couple prepared to their 'first look' photos outside the hotel, protestors gathered around them to cheer enthusiastically, which created for a powerfully poignant moment.
